9. Use dry repellents

Dry repellents may be less effective than liquid ones since they're scattered around the soil instead of applied directly to plants, but combining the two is an excellent strategy. Mothballs are a common rodent repellent, or you can pick up a commercial formula at the hardware store. If you prefer a natural approach, shaking a layer of cayenne pepper on top of the soil can keep chipmunks away.
